FASTENER SLID~R HO~DING DEVICE

This invention relates to a fastener slider holding device which is adapted to be employed for attaching fastener chains to a fastener slider when a slide fastener is subjected to finishing process or the slide fastener is sewn onto a clothing article.
A variety of fastener slider holc~ing devices have been proposed, but in most of the previously proposed fastener slider holding devices, since the slider mount of the slider holder is formed with a downwardly or downwardly slanted groove or recess in which the pull tab of a fastener slider hangs downr when the fastener slider i.s fed to the slider mount, it is required that the pull ~ab be dropped into the groove or recess at a downwardly or downwardly slanted angle.
Thus, the slider feed device associated with the slider holding device is also required to have a complicated mechanism which is adapted to grip a fastener slider in a position above the slider mount and move the slider downwardly to the slider mount where the slider is set. Such type of fastener slider holding device is disclosed, for example, .in Japanese Patent Publication No. 2028~76, 7420/76, 28057/77 and 28422/77.
It has been also proposed to form a pull tab receiving recess in one side of the slider holder (refer to Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 91306/1980, for example~. However, since a pull tab engaging piece of the slider holder a].ways extends to a position where the engaging piece engages in the hole in the pull tab hanging down within the tab receiving recess, 3fi3~

the pull tab engaging piece is always engaged in the hole in the pull tab when the tab is set on the slider mount.
Therefore, after the fastener chains have been threaded through the fastener slide, when the slider assembly is taken Ollt of the slider holding device, the pull tab is required to be disengaged from the pull tab engaging piece by pulling the tab forwardly of the engaging piece to thereby place limitation on the automatic removal of the slider assembly.

Therefore, the present invention is to provide a fastener slider holding device which can effectively eliminate the disadvantages inherent in the conventional fastener slider holding devices referred to hereinabove.
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a fastener slider holding device which requires a relatively simple slider feed means and which can perform the slider feed and removal operation following the movement of the fastener chains in a simple manner to thereby easily attain automatic slider feed and removal.

The above and other objects and attendant advantages of the present invention will be more readily apparent to those skilled in the art from a reading of the following detailed description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings which show one preferred embodiment of the invention for illustration purpose only~ but not for limiting the scope of the same in any way.

Fig. 1 is a vertically sectional view of one preferred 1 1~363 embodiment of the slider holding device constructed in accordance with the present invention;
Fig. 2 is a top plan view of said device;
Fig. 3 is similar to Fig. 1, but shows the engaging pawl on the slider holding lever in its pull tab engaging position;
Fig. 4 is a vertically sectional view taken along substantially the line IV - IV of Fig. i;
Fig. 5 is a fra~mentary perspective view of the main portion of said device;
Fig. 6 is a view similar to Fig. 3, but showing another embodiment of the present invention; and Fig. 7 is a view similar to Fig. 1, but showing the embodiment of Fig. 6.

The present invention will be now described referring to the accompanying drawings. Numeral 1 denotes a slider holder which comprises a lower block la and an upper block lb attached to the lower block la and having a slider mount
2 on the top thereof. The lower and upper blocks la, lb may be integrally formed with each other if desired. The slider holder 1 is formed on one side thereof with a recess 5 posi-tioned below the slider mount ~ and opening forwardly and upwardly for receiving a pull tab 4 of the slider therein.

The slider holder 1 is further formed in substantially the center thereof with a slide opening 6 extending vertically and a transverse opening 7 in communication with the upper end of the vertical opening 6. The opening 7 opens to the l 173fi3~

recess 5. Slidably received within the vertical opening 6 is an L-shaped sliding member 8 for vertical movement therein.
A compression spring 9 is interposed between the sliding member 8 and slider holder 1 for normally biasing the sliding member 8 downwardly. The lower end of the sliding member 8 normally rests on the upper end face of an operation rod 10 which is adapted to be moved upwardly and downwardly by an air cylinder or the like ~not shown).
The upper portion of the sliding member 8 is bifurcated to define a groove 12 between the bifurcations 11, 11 for receiving a slider holding lever 13 therein. The lever 13 is pivoted to the bifurcations 11, 11 by means of a pivot pin 1~ and 15 normally biased in the clockwise direction as seen in Fig. 1 ~y a spring 15. Formed on the top of the slider holding lever 13 is an engaging pawl 13a ~hich extends from the transverse opening 7 towards the recess 5 and also formed on the side of the slider holding lever 13 opposite from the engaging pawl 13a is a cam face 16. The cam face 16 is adapted to engage the tapered cam face 18 on a cam 17 secured to the slider holder 1.
A fastener slider 3 is fed from a position forwardly of the slider mount 2 or the position as shown by the phantom line in Fig. 1 into the holder 1 by means of a chute or the like and set on the slider mount ~ with the pull tab 4 of the fastener slider extending vertically downwardly into the recess 5.
In operation, as the operation rod 10 is lowered by the cylinder, the sliding member - slider holding lever ~ ~3~3~
~ 5 --assembly 8, 13 is also lowered under the action of the com-pression spring 9. Simultaneously with the commencement of the downward movement of the sliding member ~ slider holding lever assembly 8, 13, the cam face 16 on the slider holding lever 13 is engaged and pushed by the cam face 18 on the cam 17 whereupon the slider holding lever 13 rotates in the counter-clockwise direction against the foxce of the spring 15 to cause the engaging pawl 13a on the top of the lever to move downwardly so as to engage in the hole 4a in the slider pull :
tab 4. The downward movement of the engaging pawl 13a continues until the pawl reaches the lower end of the hole 4a and the cam face 16 is disengaged from the cam face 18 whereupon the pawl 13a pulls the slider pull tab 4 downwardly with the air of the force of the compression spring 9 whereby the slider
3 is positively set on the slider mount 2. Although not shown, when the fastener slider is one which is provided with an automatic stop means, an engaging pawl of the stop means is pulled out of the slider guide groove by pulling the pull tab downwardly with the stop pawl removed from the chain guide groove of the slider. In this condition, the fastener chains (not shown~ are threaded through the slider 3 from the shoulder end 3' of the fastener slider 3. When the slider 3 is fed into the slider holder 1 from a positi.on forwardly of the slider mount 2 or the phantom line position as shown in Fig. 1 by means of the chute, since the chute becomes an impediment to the threading of the fastener chains through the slider, the slider holding device may be so designed that the entire device can rotate reciprocally within a horizontal ~ 1i73fi3~

plane as shown by the double-head arrow in Fig. 2. With such a design of the slider holding device, the fastener slider feed and fastener chain threading can be performed in different positions.
After the fastener chains have been threaded through the slider 3, when the cylinder is actuated so as to raise the operation rod 10, the sliding member 8 is moved upwardly against the force of the spring 9, the spring 15 returns the slider holding lever 13 to the position as shown in Fig. 1 and the engaging pawl 13a retracts from the pull tab 4 to thereby render the slider 3 free. Thus, when the slider 3 is pulled up together with the fastener chains, the slider assembly can be easily removed from the slider mount 2.
Figs. 6 and 7 show another embodiment of means for rocking the slider holding lever of this invention. In this embodi-ment, the spring 15 is eliminated and a cam 17' comprises a downward projection 19 on the opposite side of the tapered cam face 18. By this, when the sliding member ~ is movec~
upwardly so as to release the pull tab 7, the slider holding lever 13 is rotated in the clockwise direction by engagement between the downward projection 19 of the fixed cam 17' and a stepped portion 20 in the slider holding lever 13 so that it returns to its pull tab disengaging position (Fig. 7).
Thus, the construction of the device can be made more simple~
As mentioned hereinabove, according to the present invention, since the slider receiving recess is formed in one side of the slider holder and when the slider is fed into the slider holder, the slider holding lever is retracted 3~3~

to a position where the lever does not engage the pull tab, the slider can be simply and easily fed into the slider holder from one side of tne slider holder by rneans of a simple feed means such as a chute. Furthermore, after the fastener chains have been threaded through the slider, when the slider assembly is taken out of the slider holder, since the slider holding lever is retracted from the pull tab engaging position and the slider is left free, the slider assembly can be easily taken out of the slider holder by moving the fastener chains.

Therefore, according to the present invention, automatic feeding and removal of the slider can be easily performed and the present invention can be advantageously applied to an automatic slider fastener processing device.
